In Writing to Advertisers mention Forest and Stream. It zvill 
I can scarcely imagine a more unde- 
sirable situation for the angler to be in. 
A lost fly may be replaced, a broken 
leader changed, even a cranky reel may 
be brought to time, or practically dis- 
pensed with by employing the two- 
handed method of fishing. But what 
can the fisherman do when his favorite 
rod fails him? 
I worked along up-stream with the 
crippled implement, making short casts, 
— but to no purpose, as the rod would 
not strike quickly enough to set the 
hook, when a fish rose to the fly. But 
Jack met the occasion with a lancewood 
rod that would cast a line and hook a 
fish once in a while. 
The next day’s fishing was disap- 
pointing. One gets used to his own rod. 
Sub-consciously he strikes with the 
proper force, and .puts the proper swing 
into his cast. It required the better 
part of the morning for me to become 
habituated to the new rod; and so I 
practically missed that part of the day 
which I have usually found to give the 
best returns. I caught but three fish 
that day, of legal size, but small, so I let 
them go. 
I 
O N the morning of the next day, as 
the boy was not fishing then, I 
took the ounce rod and went up 
stream. As a result of two or three 
hours’ experience, I determined that the 
following season should find me 
equipped with a similar outfit. The lit- 
tle rod swung fly, leader, and twenty- 
five feet of line in a way that left noth- 
ing to be desired. The smoothness, the 
ease, the lightness with which casting 
was done were a revelation. On the 
back cast, the fly would leave the water 
without the least trace of the objection- 
able “rip”, it would pass back and then 
forward again alighting on the water 
with the movement of the natural in- 
sect So rises were frequent, and fish 
were caught. In the afternoon, the boy 
wanted his rod, so I went back to the 
lancewood. 
The last of August came next day, 
and with it the close of the season and 
the last chance for the “big one”. I 
rode with Jack down to the “stone arch”, 
and fished the stream up thoroughly, de- 
termined to pass by no spot that seemed 
likely. For some reason, the fish did not 
seem to be in the usual places, possibly 
because there was a hint of storm in the 
weather that morning. In a narrow run 
of water, I got into something which 
I at first took to be the bed of the 
stream. But, when this became alive 
and began to move, I knew I had hold 
of a big one. I held it but a moment. 
I fished on farther upstream, and 
came to a pool before long, which I had 
always tried, but in which I had had no 
success. But the pool was broad and 
deep. In its upper end lay a tangle of 
logs and snags. Conditions were right 
for a “whopper”. 
As I got up to within about forty feet 
of the pool, I could see by the circles on 
the water that a fish was feeding. I 
made perhaps a dozen casts, and 
changed the fly two or three times, but 
nothing came of it.
